Curbs behind Qatar tire concerns – Pirelli
Changes to the curbs at the Qatar Grand Prix have raised concerns about safety issues, according to Pirelli. The FIA has moved the track limits at certain corners to prevent drivers from running over the highest part of the curb. Pirelli discovered signs of damage during the post-practice checks on Friday, indicating potential construction failures if the tires are used in the same way for more than 20 laps. Pirelli has informed the FIA and implemented new track limits for the remainder of the weekend, but further analysis after the Sprint race will determine if the issue persists. If necessary, maximum stint lengths and three mandatory pit stops will be imposed for Sunday’s race.
